Product Information
General Information:
AdvaCare is a GMP manufacturer of Levocetirizine tablets.
Levocetirizine is an antihistamine; it works by blocking the release of a body chemical called histamine.
Histamines respond to allergies or irritations from both endogenous and exogenous irritants. Its response creates symptoms known as allergic reactions. As Levocetirizine blocks the release of histamine from the cells in your body, it relieves symptoms of allergies like a runny nose, red-watery-itchy eyes, sneezing, and itching. Levocetirizine also helps relieve itching caused by hives. Levocetirizine is excreted via the urine but a small percentage can beexcreted in feces.
Side Effects:
As with all pharmaceutical medicines, some unwanted effects can occur from the use of levocetirizine tablets. Always consult a physician for medical advice before use. Common side effects may include tiredness, dry mouth, sore throat, and
sleepiness. Serious side effects may include severe allergic reactions, kidney problems, blurry vision and ear infections (in children). For a comprehensive list of all possible effects, consult your doctor. If any symptom persists or gets worse, or you notice any other symptoms, then please call your doctor immediately.
